Gabriel Max Control Rear Shock

Gabriel Max Control shock absorber 77525 is built for rear suspension applications on select Ford and Mazda trucks and SUVs. It uses a monotube design with gas charging for quick, consistent damping and a ride feel tuned for light trucks, vans, and SUVs.

Key Features

  • Monotube construction for fast response and consistent control.
  • Larger bore size helps the shock react quickly to suspension movement.
  • Gas charged for stable performance under load.
  • Super-finished chromed piston rod resists corrosion.
  • Leak-proof piston seal helps extend service life.
  • Boot included for added protection.
  • Eyelet upper and lower mounting points.

Fitment Details

Compatible with rear suspension applications on Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco II, Mazda B2300, Mazda B4000, Mazda B3000, and Mazda B2500. Fits 1990-2011 Ford Ranger, rear; 1990 and 1989 Ford Bronco II, rear; 1989 and 1990-2011 Ford Ranger, rear with 12mm bolt in rear lower mount for the 1989 application; 1994-1997 and 2001-2009 Mazda B2300, rear; 1994-2009 Mazda B4000, rear; 1994-2007 Mazda B3000, rear; and 1998-2001 Mazda B2500, rear. This part number is 77525.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive rear bounce or oscillation.
  • Reduced damping control on worn suspension.
  • Harsh or inconsistent ride response.
  • Corrosion-related wear on exposed shock components.
  • Fluid leakage from aging shock seals.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear application, mounting style, and the 1989 Ford Ranger or Bronco II lower mount note before installation. Confirm collapsed and extended length against the existing shock to ensure proper suspension travel. Installation hardware is not required according to the product data.

Quality Assurance

Gabriel Max Control 77525 features a chromed piston rod and leak-resistant seal design for durability in demanding suspension service. The monotube layout is engineered for quick, repeatable control in light truck and SUV use.
